Description
Now in its Fourth Edition, Key Concepts in Mental Health continues to give readers a complete and concise overview of mental health and all the issues that surround it from a theoretical and practical perspective. Restructured into four sections, the book starts by defining mental health and mental abnormality before examining the mental health services and the place mental health takes in society. It is essential reading for students of health, nursing, mental health, social work, and social care. It is also valuable reading for students of counselling and psychotherapy.
